Three Follow-Up Questions for RFK Jr.
If you listen very carefully to his words, RFK Jr.’s stance on vaccines is identical to that of Alan Dershowitz. ‘We need safe vaccines.’ ‘The government should not be mandating untested products.’ Companies should not have liability unless their products are proven 100% safe.’ Blah, blah, blah. Translation, tyranny is good as long as it’s ‘safe.’ And who, pray tell ‘Bobby’ can we trust 100% to guarantee our ‘safety?’ Utilitarian turtles all the way down to Hell. This is the same guy who said those who question ‘climate science,’ an oxymoron even more absurd that ‘vaccine science.’ Bobby is and was always a very charming snake.
A few more questions for Bobby:
1. Why have vaccines never been properly tested for safety with genuine control groups?
Answer: All vaccines produce harm, and are designed to do just that, hence the skirting of the most elementary drug trial basics.
2. Where are the beatified saints who will have no financial, philosophical or political ties to the vaccine cult, either wittingly or otherwise?
Answer: They don’t exist which is why our Founders codified the rights you are so eager to trample just as soon as ‘the science’ can be perfected to the standard of Alan Dershowitz!
3. Are vaccine mandates ever justified?
My Answer: No
Bobby’s Answer: only in the most extraordinary circumstances, like an Anthrax attack, to be determined by perfect Saints outside the inconvenient strictures of that dead document, the Constitution.
I would be happy with a shift in the direction of RFK Jr.s position and hopefully this will now happen.
You need to bear in mind that if he shouts 'all vaccines are bad' that it is an assumption because there could be a good vaccine and he would then earn the pejorative 'antio-vaxxer' which would loose him political support for NO GAIN. However if he says he is in favor of safe vaccines as he has always said he can claim to be in favor of 'safe' vaccines and avoid the anti-vaxx label.
As he gains some power to further his goal of having 'safe' and double blind placebo controlled long term safety trials for vaccines being required it will become CLEAR to everyone that there is no safe vaccine at this time and he will achieve YOUR goal without wasting his political capital by donning the disabling anti-vaxx mantel.
So I would MUCH RATHER that RFK Jr. called for safe vaccines than disappeared as an anti-vaxxer and in the end result I believe you would too.
As for vaccine mandates, the same goes. If you could show without a doubt that there is a nation ending event that could be prevented with a vaccine (or other) mandate then there is a case to be made. The bar should be very high but if it was reached then the debate should be held. Preventing the hospitals from being swamped or granny getting covid are not remotely serious enough outcomes to require investigating mandates in my view. The example of anthrax is interesting because if it spreads widely the residual spores can 'poison' large tracts of land from practical use for (very) many decades and could be held as an example of national interest overriding personal freedoms. Alternatives should be available and informed consent should still hold but it would be a serious matter.
There are very few things in life that are 100% black or white, some things might reach 99% in the eyes of a reasonable person but special cases often exist if you are open to reason.
